SCOTTSDALE FLOODED! Its 11 MILE Flood Park HELD, Yet DRIVERS Were PULLED From WASHES

SCOTTSDALE FLOODED! Its 11 MILE Flood Park HELD, Yet DRIVERS Were PULLED From WASHES Scottsdale built the Indian Bend Wash greenbelt, eleven miles of parks, lakes and golf courses, to carry its floods through town instead of a concrete ditch. When storms hit on Friday, October 30, on Halloween and again on Sunday, November 1, the greenbelt carried the water, yet firefighters still pulled drivers from flooded crossings near Hayden Road, Miller Road and in north Scottsdale. Scottsdale Fire and Maricopa County officials explain why the roads, not the park, became the danger. In this video, we ask why a city that built a whole park to carry its floods still saw drivers pulled from the water, from Friday night's rescue at the wash near Hayden Road and McCormick Parkway to the concrete ditch Scottsdale refused, the greenbelt that kept seventeen crossings open, the drivers who went around barricades, Shea Boulevard shut by downed power lines, a rare rainy Halloween, Sunday's atmospheric river and another rescue in north Scottsdale, how little moving water it takes to sweep a car away, the Shea Boulevard floods of 2013 and 2018, and the dry week ahead while the Salt River stays high.
